Vote buying is before my time. From what I read recently it sounded like it was bigger accounts using it to get bigger, until I read your friend's post. It sounds like there's a need for discussions on how to ensure the system is used to genuinely help both the community and those who want to get established. Checks and balances, like those used by certain awesome curation trails ❤️
We got you brother, appreciate the support and understanding.
You know I'm always up for figuring out how we can all grow Hive together :) Everyone here wants Hive to thrive, it's just that we all need to talk about it. Bouncing ideas around is a sure way to come up with something better than any one person or group would be able to.
